If we can afford to spend $1 trillion to $2 trillion (projected total expenditure from this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/19/washington/19cost.html – also the original Bush Administration extimate for the Iraq War? $50 to $60 billion) looking for WMD in Iraq, then surely we can spend $1 trillion saving our own a$$.

I still fail to comprehend the number of people who, even after studying the Great Depression in school, still seem to think no govt intervention is the right answer.
